Errmm,thanks for the information bro..still prefer to DL,cause can keep it 

Just want to share an interesting article regarding 3D Technology by Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies.

http://www.displaymate.com/3D_TV_ShootOut_1.htm

and here summaries from Gizmodo
A good read for those (like me) who are still undecided whether to take a dive or not 

hi admin & friends, review for sony ex720 + calibration 3d display please..

buy also can keep it

so the 40" sony ex720 is really that bad eh, was thinking of getting it but since it's 3D performance is bad, not worth getting lo

the only others that I saw withing the price range of 40" sony ex720 is the Sharp LC40LE830M and LG 42LW4500 and LG 42LW5700, how's this two, worth getting for the occasional 3D movies and gaming?

actually if it's not really worth getting a 3D LCD/LED tv now, I'll probably just go for a cheaper 40" LCD/LED tv and only upgrade to 3D LCD/LED later

The 3D glasses got so many types.. Are they all compatible?

3DTV CONSIDERATION

HD Ready or Full HD Ready.
The least important based on other HD expert from various reviewers. Unless you planning to use this TV as a computer screen or viewing it in a very near distance (perhaps less than 1m). And if the price difference is insignificant, may opt for the Full HD spec.
Point to ponder: If you buying a 40" flat panel display, are you planning to watch it in less than 1m, seriously??? Check this 3D TV Resolution Chart here; http://3dtvscdn.3dtvs.netdna-cdn.com/wp-co...ution-Chart.png
Additional Info: I have a 37" Full HD LCD... initially set the DVI output to resolution 1920 X 1080.. watching the screen from approx 2.5m distance is a hassle.. Now I set it to 1366 X 768. HD and Full HD source is indistinguishable whether is gaming or movie. If i'm buying a 55" TV perhaps I'll chose a Full HD (since I usually watch TV around 2.5m distance)

Full HD is not Full HD... Wow
Interesting fact to know about your TV, not all Full HD TV is Full HD
A 1920X1080 resolution, does not actually make the TV a real Full HD... a real Full HD TV will hav the scanning rate / moving picture resolution of 1080lines... Currently, only plasma TV can achieve this full HD scanning rate (top end).
For LCD/LED, best is 900lines, normal LCD/LED is 600lines, low end is 300lines. (Oh yeah, so far only one manufacturer claim their LCD/LED is full HD with scanning rate of1080lines)

Typical HD ready plasma uses 720lines scanning rate
Typical HD ready LCD/LED uses 600lines (older use 300lines)
Typical full HD plasma uses 900lines
Typical full HD LCD/LED uses 600lines

oh yeah, but no need to worries about the no... nowadays most tv whether lcd/led or plasma will display 600lines or a bit more.. if the tv scan at 300lines, it may pose problem to those who has really2 sensitive eyes... more than 600lines, the eyes can't tell the difference....

another reason why full hd is not important

HD ready with 1024 X 768 resolution.
Best avoid if possible as this resolution is not native 16/9. A HD ready TV with 1024 X 768 resolution requires additional interpolation for 16/9 viewing and also 4/3 viewing. Some viewer may notice uneven scaling of pictures. To avoid if user planning to connect this with a PC. 

LCD, LED or Plasma for 3D viewing:
As of 2011, watching 3D content using LCD/LED 5U5KS big time... a lot of crosstalk/ghosting. This crosstalk/ghosting can be reduce, if you watch the 3D content in a extreme low brightness and contrast. This will loses lose most of the picture quality especial the shadow detail...
Quick Shop Test: If you insist getting LED 3D TV, do a quick shop test. Just ask the seller to test the 3D content using Sony 3D demo disk, and play the San Paolo Indy video. If you don't notice any crosstalk/ghosting. Then go ahead...

ISSUES

Reflection and Glaring
Plasma reflection and glaring are extremely, extremely annoying. Is this an issues. Definitely. Watching plasma TV in natural lighting 5U5K5 big time... I feel I just wanna throw the TV to the bin... Is this manageable? Yep, but a lot of hassle. I spend additional rm150 to install shades and plain curtain to reduce natural light entering the room.
Under the natural-lit room, the setting is (with no shades and curtain, the TV is unwatchable because of the reflection and glaring)
Cell Light: 15
Brightness: 80
Contrast: 45
Sharpness: 40
Colour: 40
Tint: G50/R50
Gamma: 0
Flesh tone: 0
If you planning to restrict yourself in viewing the TV from 7pm till 7am... then, this is non-issues.

This is how the TV look when watching at 3.30pm-5.30pm, with curtains n shades was pulled away
[attachmentid=2213790]
5uck5 right, but with the shades and curtain, not a big issues


Other high end model has a very good anti-reflection coating such as Panasonic Infinite Black or Samsung Real Black Filter which significantly suppressed reflection and glaring. Thus this maybe not an issues depending on Model 

Lost of communication between 3D glasses and 3DTV
Non Issues except for 2010 Samsung IR communication active shutter which losses sync a lot of time.
Based on quick shop 3D demo. Pana, Sony, Sharp Infra Red communication active shutter is non issues as long as the 3D glasses within the IR transmitter line of sight.
2011 samsung bluetooth, has the most range and has little limitation on its line of sight. Samsung bluetooth active shutter does not support 2010 3D TV....

Other so called issues
Each manufacturer has their own pros and cons.. so at the end of the day... u need to trust yourself what TV y wanna buy and conformtable with. As an example
When I wanna buy the 3DTV, I have look several TV... at the end of the day, the competition was between 2011 Samsung Plasma n 2010 Pana Plasma
I didnt get 2010 Pana Plasma (the VT20 series) because when I demoed it, the 3d glasses will be out of syn with the TV at certain position (i feel this limit myself in term of gaming, like playing SOCOM4 n Killzone 3 cause I use sharpshooter)
2010 Pana Plasma hav other issues which is floating black. I experience it, but I dont think its an issues cause I dont mind it. (So, i have problem with non-native 16/9 ratio using 1024X768, but other user may find it as no issues)
So different people hav different criteria. So, trust yourself n ur eyes.. cause its your money, n u going to watch it

SAROWIN ANTI REFLECTION SCREEN

Recently I bought the sarowin anti reflection/glare screen for my plasma... and since a lot of people ask... below are my impression on this screen

The GOOD
The best thing about the the screen protection, it turns ur highly reflective flat panel tv to a matte screen. The screen is extremely good in toning down the reflection and thus your viewing will not be distracted by all the glare and reflection during daytime viewing (or at brightly lit area). But of course this screen is not perfect... when u put this screen on ur flat panel tv u will definitely lose some picture quality...
but the important thing is... does the lost of pq make a lot of difference????
For this test, I purposely play a copy of HD the Corpse Bride (since this movie has a lot of dark scene content) and i purposely open up my curtain and shades to let all the light entering the room... the test was conducted around 4.45pm, where during this time, the room is at its brightest condition

FRONT VIEW
[attachmentid=2310847] With No Screen
[attachmentid=2310849] With Screen
The image with no screen, the reflection is clearly visible... u can even see my taking pic reflection
The image with screen, the reflection is effectively tone down... u can't see my reflection at all.
To me, the image with screen does not strain my eyes much... im more comfortable viewing the dark content with the screen on.. (+1 adv)
but the problem with the screen, it does not only muted the reflection, it also muted the brightness and sharpness of the images. brightness of the image is non issues cause you can increase the brighness and contrast of the flat panel.
the lost of sharpness, maybe an issue to some people.. but for me, for HD content, lost of sharpness is not an issue at all, but for SD content, it does annoy me a bit (-1 cons)

SIDE VIEW
[attachmentid=2310851][attachmentid=2310852]
again, with the screen is on, the image is more comfortable to view...
at this angle of viewing, lost of contrast was identify.. but the good news is... the lost of contrast is extremely gradual n to me personally, it doesnt effect my viewing pleasure (a LED/LCD lost of contrast is more noticeable) (-1 cons since the lost of performance cant be compensated by other means)

SIDE EXTREME VIEW
[attachmentid=2310855][attachmentid=2310857]
the angle of view for this test was approximately around 80degC.. (giving a viewing angle of 160degC, compared to LED/LCD with 178degC)
to me at this angle, the image is non-viewable at all... (-1 cons since it has limit the plasma viewing angle)
again, to me this is not issues because i dont think any people will actually sit at this angle to watch the movie. and if compared to most LED/LCD, the LED/LCD at this viewing angle performance is worst... usually a tolerable angle of view for LED/LCD is around 65degC (giving viewing angle of 130degC, due to lost of contrast, to add some note, also not a big problem as i dont think people are watching tv at this angle, usually angle of view is at 0degC, perpendicular to 60degC)

CONCLUSION
only +1 pro with the screen, n 3 cons with the screen.. mathematically, the anti reflection screen is not a good solution at all... but to me personally, its definitely a recommended product to buy especially if you hav a plasma tv which doesnt hav its own reflective coating
all the 3 cons, doesnt bother me at all.. ( for me, its +1).. but for other it may not be....

Crosstalk/Ghosting Performance: refer to this post; http://www.avforums.com/forums/3d-plasma-t...3d-tv-test.html

With Nvidia 3D Vision Player or PS3 Console (uses 3D MPO image); setting set to 720p@60Hz
Left eye open/right closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> 1
Left eye open/right closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> 11
Right eye open/left closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> 11
Right eye open/left closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> 1

My opinion, the 3D performance on this TV is not really that good. It just acceptable under this setting. Under this setting, no significant crosstalk is noticeable, I dont get a headache, and I enjoy the picture quality. I was hoping under this setting I'll get measurement as below
Left eye open/right closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> 1
Left eye open/right closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> more than 20
Right eye open/left closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> more than 20
Right eye open/left closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> 1

To get to the above setting, I need to reduce the cell light, brightness and contract. and decreases the gamma. By doing that, the picture quality degrade.. So, i'll stick to my preferred 3D setting.

3D impression.
Crosstalk and Ghosting is still an issues. After a quick shop 3D test, plasma crosstalk/ghosting is the least noticeable compare to its LCD/LED counterpart. Will it be resolved... hopefully in 2012, and I do hope manufacturer will increase the refresh rate of 3D glasses to 240hz.
Other 3D technology to look forward is the 3D ZScreen technology (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/samsung-reald-announce-rdz-tech-that-puts-active-shutter-3d-int/)
Thinking to get a new 3D tv... why dont wait after Apr 2011, this is the time where 3D TV price will be very very competitive since most majpr player will completely release most of their new 3DTV model.

My opinion, the 3D performance on this TV is not really that good. It just acceptable under this setting. Under this setting, no significant crosstalk is noticeable, I dont get a headache, and I enjoy the picture quality. I was hoping under this setting I'll get measurement as below
Left eye open/right closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> 1
Left eye open/right closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> more than 20
Right eye open/left closed -> top half screen smaller visible number -> more than 20
Right eye open/left closed -> bottom half screen smaller visible number -> 1

To get to the above setting, I need to reduce the cell light, brightness and contract. and decreases the gamma. By doing that, the picture quality degrade.. So, i'll stick to my preferred 3D setting.

3D impression.
Crosstalk and Ghosting is still an issues. After a quick shop 3D test, plasma crosstalk/ghosting is the least noticeable compare to its LCD/LED counterpart. Will it be resolved... hopefully in 2012, and I do hope manufacturer will increase the refresh rate of 3D glasses to 240hz.
Other 3D technology to look forward is the 3D ZScreen technology (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/samsung-reald-announce-rdz-tech-that-puts-active-shutter-3d-int/)
Thinking to get a new 3D tv... why dont wait after Apr 2011, this is the time where 3D TV price will be very very competitive since most majpr player will completely release most of their new 3DTV model.

hi,
i want buy blu ray home theater philip hts5561. I have sony ex720 n sony 3d glasses. I want use my sony 3d tv with new philip HT HTS5561. Can i use my sony 3d glasses with new home theater philip hts5561 itu? Or sy kena beli new 3d glasses from philip? Sorry for my bad english.. Hope u all understand what i mean..

The 3d glasses syn with your sony TV.. not with your home theather.. so not an issues if u bought any other home theather from other manufacturer...

To make it simple... i hav a samsung 3dtv... but my 3d blu ray is from Sony... since the glassses sync with the TV... no issues at all... useable...

but if u want to get new pair of 3d glasses.. it must be from the same manufacturer as ur tv... (as of 2011)
